MOBILE phone company MTN Cyprus will venture into information and communications technologies (ICT) services, announcing the acquisition of Intelligent Business Solutions Ltd on Wednesday.

The South Africa-owned telecommunications company will now be launching its ICT services arm, under the MTN Business umbrella.

Speaking at a press conference, CEO Philip Van Dalsen said that MTN is changing and changes Cyprus.

“The company is at the forefront of developments providing Cyprus businesses with solutions that will save them money and multiply their growth potential,” he said.

By incorporating IBS, MTN will now be in position to offer hardware servers solutions, cloud services, consulting, as well as audit and information security services.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
